Wow...Joekerr, this is really deep stuff. I 'think' I understand where your coming from and will give a personal example (not about women).
I've been lifting weights for years, and until that last 6 months ago I started making serious gains on my lifts, primarily the deadlift.
I used to watch what I eat, was focused on how I looked, I'd get a HB, etc..etc. I one day realized that I love to lift, for the personal challege itself, for me. It's me against the weight.
So, I did a mental change of attitude so to speak. I stripped away all the reasons why I was lifting before, I stopped caring about how I looked, how much I ate, I started focusing on the weight itself.
So, I started packing on the weight on the bar, I'm now deadlifting over 300lbs (a huge goal for me), something I never would have achieved before. And it's all because I let all the superficial reasons for weight lifting go, it's all for myself. My goal now is 400lbs.
In turn, I now feel stronger than I've ever have before, and I'm bigger too. But I don't even care about that because the gains that I've achieved, is mostly internal, the confidence of achieving something and knowing that I'm lifting for different reasons than the guy sitting there analyzing his bicep in the mirror at the gym.
So, I guess by stripping the 'game' away, you truly become honest with yourself, and your actions become natural in a way that a lot of "DJ's" try to fake. You take action in a way that just comes out, naturally, and you achieve the things you truly want in life and women.
